    Last night I had my 26 year son over to celebrate his birthday. I made your flour tortillas and Birria taco meat. He loved his birthday dinner! I went to sleep thinking how lovely you are to share your heritage and skills with us. Because of your commitment to teaching and educating us I went to my first Mexican market and found some amazing treasures there including Pizza Doritos and Cinnamon cookies! I also found the cheeses and peppers I needed for my meals and so many other wonderful things. Everyone raved about the tortillas and went back for seconds and thirds! I am so grateful to you!

I made your tamale recipe in 2018, my first time ever, my family loved them along with your Champurrado recipe which was so comforting on a rare cold Texas evening. Your many variations of enchiladas, rice, caldo have helped me gain the confidence to tweak my own recipes as well. I truly appreciate your generosity in sharing your family’s recipes.

    Love watching your videos. A lot of stuff wasn't passed on in my family,. Things like making tamales have been lost for the last generation or two. When I make things like tortillas or any other traditional foods, it makes my older family members reminisce. They start telling stories about how their abuela or an old lady that lived down the street always had fresh meals ready for them after school.

I remember when we were kids i can remember my abuelita making tortillas early in the morning to warm up the house and she would work so hard to make at least 3-4 dozens their was a bunch of us and I remember she would put butter or Manteca out with salt. By the time she was all done most of the tortillas were already gone! It was a treat...a wood stove morning with red chili 🌶️ and papitas....I miss her so much😢❤️.But these are the Special memories and Special times I will never forget! I love you grama Carmen!!❤️😢

I make a small batch of 10-12 and put them in a gallon ziplock in the fridge. Works for me. I just like the taste so much more than store-bought! It's been a fun part of my kitchen routine!
